Gene therapy takes on deadly brain tumor

NCT ID NCT03866109

First seen Feb 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 05, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tests a new treatment called Temferon for people with glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain cancer. The therapy uses a patient's own blood stem cells, modified to deliver interferon directly to the tumor. Up to 27 patients with a specific genetic marker (unmethylated MGMT) will receive a single injection after standard treatment to see if it is safe and helps control the disease.
